Enjoy the family, enjoy the day, enjoy the process of working on the car when you get the time. Living life "can't waiting" sucks. I did it for too long: Can't wait until I'm out of college-can't wait until the kids are older-can't wait until I retire from the Army-can't wait until the 67 is done-can't wait... You get the idea. You end up waiting your whole life, and never living it.
OP: Good luck with your project, very sorry to hear about your dad. Congrats on the growing family! Love life.
You Sir should be a motivational speaker! Best advice yet and hits too close to home for me. Lately with the Mustang, needing to remodel my down stairs bathroom AGAIN (already did a half remodel) and the twins coming soon I have a lot of stuff on my plate and once they come things will slow to a crawwwwwwl.
I find myself imagining life skipping the first two years of my daughters life so I can get back to working on things (not just the Mustang) and your words strike me real hard. You're right, stop the "can't wait" crap and start living it at a slower pace instead of trying to speed everything up.
Today I'm going to enjoy finishing up my sons huge sand box that we built together and after I'm going to have a tall cold one and relax a little.
